The Law Can't Punish Me!
After bidding farewell to Mr. Luo Mang and the sallow-skinned old man, Xu Nan returned from Lost Paradise.
His feelings were complicated.
Although the artifact is useless, finding the Earth Star Spirit is no easy task.
When the Protoss are at their most vulnerable and confused, they are very good at hiding themselves. You can't exactly go to the Earth's core to see if she's there, can you?
Furthermore, this thing is something that leaves no clues whatsoever. The Great Qing Dragon Vein is gone, so Xu Nan has no way of finding it.
Even a powerful figure like Mr. Luo Mang couldn't help with this.
Since he couldn't enter Earth, he could only offer Xu Nan some advice based on his experience: Star Spirits often roam among famous mountains and rivers, and sometimes they appear before the world in various forms of strange and wondrous creatures.
He suggested that Xu Nan start from this aspect.
But in practice, it's easier said than done.
When Xu Nan got home, he turned on his computer and searched on Baidu all night. Besides the Tan Wan Lan Yue " and "Hong Yue Zhuan ", all he found were random ads like "My sister-in-law accidentally evolved Prehistoric Bone Kun while I was away, and swallowed my Corpse Kun ".
Of course, some advertisements for Putian System Hospital and fake drugs are mixed in.
Finding clues about the Protoss? That's incredibly difficult.
In a fit of anger, Xu Nan slammed her laptop shut, held her breath, and tried to sort out her thoughts. But just then, a loud crash came from upstairs!
That's the sound of something being smashed!
Xu Nan suddenly had a long-lost feeling.
Xin'er, it seems like you haven't lost your temper in a long time.
In the immediate aftermath of her parents' accident, she would often smash the floor with things, which forced Xu Nan to later develop her own carpentry and decoration skills. It was a mixed blessing.
He quickly sent a message:
"What's wrong? Who made you angry?"
Xin'er: I'm not angry. Ask again and I'll block you.
Xu Nan immediately stopped asking any more questions.
He turned on his computer, logged into Xin'er's Live Stream Room, and secretly observed the situation, only to find that things were not so simple.
The incident apparently started when Dou Lv tv, the live streaming website Xin'er works for, organized some kind of random streamer event with Christmas approaching. Xin'er has consistently ranked among the top streamers in singing-related live streams and enjoys great popularity, which is undoubtedly related to her solid singing skills.
In previous similar events, Xin'er always came in first place, while the other flashy girls could only get a small share.
But this time it seems a little different.
The one ranked first is a new streamer.
Judging from the comments in Xin'er's room, this new streamer seems to have only recently risen to fame, and has become popular inexplicably even before signing a contract with Dou Lv tv.
There were many inflammatory comments in the Live Stream Room, which were probably the culprits behind Xin'er's unhappiness:
[The room number is truly Blessing of Sound!] (Note 1.)
Tell Xin'er I can't go back!
[Lan Lan is so cute... Her singing skills are obviously not as good as Xin'er's, but her voice is so moving and healing, waaaaah...]
Xin'er was clearly sulking, singing silently to herself and ignoring the rhythm of the Live Stream Room.
Xu Nan immediately became furious.
What Lan Lan? What an tacky name! She's probably just a flashy, cheap girl that Dou Lv tv has temporarily promoted to keep Xin'er in check!
He'd seen this tactic many times before; wasn't it just a way to undermine Xin'er's social standing?
However, Xu Nan was also a little puzzled. Xin'er was a big streamer and had seen many ups and downs. Why would she get angry about something like this?
Xu Nan quickly understood.
There are malicious trolls stirring up trouble for Xin'er in the Live Stream Room:
[Breaking news! Breaking news! I, Xin'er, am actually transgender! Do you believe it?]
Xu Nan sneered and typed a rebuttal:
[You're lying! Xin'er isn't transgender at all! She's a man!]
Then he and that comment were banned by the moderators.
Frustrated, Xu Nan decided to infiltrate the enemy's ranks, believing that knowing oneself and one's enemy was the key to victory.
He clicked on Lan Lan's Live Stream Room and found that she had indeed not signed a contract or received any recommendations, but her popularity was inexplicably high.
Lan Lan's Live Stream Room background is a landscape painting with a profound artistic conception. She doesn't show her face, but only her ethereal voice is singing an ancient-style song.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Xu Nan vaguely remembered that Xin'er had just covered this ancient-style song a month ago, and it had 999+ comments on NetEase Cloud.
This is a provocation!
Xu Nan wanted to type out a rant, but hesitated for a moment and then stopped.
Ten minutes later, he looked at the completely dark Live Stream Room with a sense of lingering interest:
"Is the broadcast over already?"
"It's truly... the Blessing of Sound..."
A murderous aura emanated from behind.
Xu Nan turned around stiffly.
"I had something to discuss with you, but I don't anymore. Go listen to your own Blessing of Sound!"
Xin'er's figure vanished from the spot in a flash.
Xu Nan was startled.
What kind of technique is this? It can actually teleport you away directly? It's much more powerful than my damn Hagrid's Flicker Spell!
He tried to ask Xin'er what was going on, but naturally he was blocked.
As he watched the lively discussion in Lan Lan's Live Stream Room, he suddenly had a strange premonition:
Perhaps one day, he will meet the master of the song.
So he quietly started following Lan Lan's Live Stream Room.
Of course, that's what every otaku in front of the Live Stream Room thought.
Life is always full of illusions!
Unable to find any clues online, Xu Nan had no choice but to seek help from others.
The most suitable one would be Blazing Fire.
As the Ship Spirit of the Arcane Empire, it is essentially a spirit, much like the Protoss. Xu Nan hoped to obtain some information from Blazing Fire Mouth.
Unfortunately, Blazing Fire Huo has been busy preparing for the Ancient Covenant ceremony and was powerless to help Xu Nan with his questions.
"The Protoss are too mysterious; even the Arcane Empire has never captured a young Protoss."
"My personal advice is not to waste too much energy on this. After all, it's absurd to try to capture a Protoss just to satisfy your weird hobby."
Xu Nan became increasingly certain that although this guy had turned off the Humor Module, the Poison Tongue Module was definitely running at high speed.
"By the way, the Ancient Covenant is almost ready, and the Star Platform is complete. It should be ready in the next few days. You can try to activate the Covenant and establish some contact with the Arcane Empire."
Blazing Fire's voice was somewhat excited.
Xu Nan nodded. "Then let's do it in a few days."
I've been so busy lately.
Xu Nan has too many identities: the local bigwig of the New Neighborhood Committee; the lord of the underground city; the instructor of the practical course in the Training Camp; and a blacklister of all the alchemy centers in Lost Paradise... He is so busy that he doesn't even have time to think about life.
With Blazing Fire's help, Xu Nan spent the night giving a general overview of the underground city.
Unfortunately, the development of dungeons is actually quite slow.
Despite the help of Shi Fanglin and Lü Junyi, Xu Nan could clearly sense that the development potential of the underground city had not yet been fully realized.
The best-performing areas are the Farming Garden and the Alchemy Workshop that Xu Nan built himself, followed by the water purification system and the residential area comfort optimization system.
Many of the facilities on the Cloud Ascending Ship are gathering dust.
But there's nothing we can do about it. This location is too sensitive. If it starts to develop rapidly, it might get noticed by people on the ground.
Before Earth and the other world officially went to war, Xu Nan felt it was better to keep a low profile.
This was also the suggestion given by Lü Junyi.
He's been Wen Xin into Wenxin lately, and he's got his eye on a piece of land in the east of the city. It's land that's been abandoned by real estate developers. If he could buy it, he could use it as a cover for the surface and then move the underground city there. That might be a good idea.
But all of this is predicated on... the Cloud Ascending Ship must be able to revert to its original ship form and then use its powerful underground mobility to slip through.
Shi Fanglin was already investigating the geological issues of that region.
These two have been very busy lately. Xu Nan only managed to see Lü Junyi once in the underground city, and that was only because the guy took the initiative to come looking for him.
"Nan, it's decided. Let's get started."
Lü Junyi looked excited.
Xu Nan, of course, understood what he meant.
Naturally, it's the hospital area.
This matter has actually been dragging on for a long time; there was already some progress when Xu Nan inherited the warlock bloodline.
According to Lü Junyi's law, Wen Xin has already submitted to her father and granted Lü Junyi some admission quotas.
This Plane Bubble is not large, but it contains great opportunities. It seems that Shi Fanglin's chance to become a professional depends on this moment!
Xu Nan naturally gave his full support to his friend and immediately agreed.
"Call a few more friends, they all have to be good fighters, and it would be best to bring your Harem Group!"
Lü Junyi instructed, "Wen Xin's group consists of professionals from the military region. Although they are all at the first level, they are very aggressive. We cannot afford to lose face."
Xu Nan said there was no problem.
He's a professional when it comes to calling in players.
Both sides finalized the departure schedule and time, had a late-night snack together, and then went their separate ways. Wen Xin, Lü Junyi had to pay his share of the grain—no, wait, Wen Xin was a military person, so he had to pay military grain.
Xu Nan rested for a night and went to work the next day feeling refreshed!
His work location is not fixed; he just wanders around three blocks near the Shang University, not much more important than a city management officer.
The Salted Fish Three Brothers, were even more proactive than Xu Nan, having already been staking out the spot early on.
As for Zheng Xie, after hearing that Xin'er was a homebody and wouldn't be around Xu Nan, he immediately disappeared, which was incredibly true.
Although he didn't come in person, he still sent a representative to give Xu Nan face.
Kangaroo.
When Xu Nan arrived, this guy even grinned at Xu Nan, showing the utmost humanity.
Xu Nan suspected that he might have been possessed by someone else's soul.
After being tortured by Veterinarian Lü, the Kangaroo's forelimbs were gone, and a decent-looking sheepskin pouch was sewn onto its belly. Xu Nan peered inside and saw that it even had a label that Erdos .
If it weren't for the occasional glimpse of its sharp teeth revealing its true identity, others would really think it was a Kangaroo!
And so, Xu Nan took a Kangaroo and three salted fish and went out to patrol the streets.
As a result, reports from the public were received very quickly.
A professional was caught dining and dashing at a hot pot restaurant!
Xu Nan and the others immediately rushed over, ready to uphold justice.
Outside the hot pot restaurant, a chubby, overweight man yelled at the owner:
"I'm a professional, what's wrong with me eating your hot pot?"
"Besides, the law can't punish me!"
Xu Nan leaned closer. "Why?"
The fat man pinched the flesh on his body:
"Because the law does not punish those who commit serious crimes!"
Wang Dongdong scratched his head and nudged Xu Nan's waist:
"Boss, his reasoning seems to make some sense."
Note 1: The number is a bonus; it's Coconut's Live Stream Room number on Bilibili, the kind where they only stream once and then disappear for half a year, hahaha!
